Bugaboo Stroller Review - This or That?
Bugaboo Strollers - FOX 3 vs Donkey 5
Bugaboo is famous for their incredible strollers, making deciding which to purchase a tedious task. By breaking down what makes these two unique from an unbiased and unsponsored perspective, we aim to answer all of your burning questions in one go before you pick.
Let’s cut to the chase – Bugaboo strollers have the best roll in the business. With the easiest push by far, they’re fierce competition right out of the gate. With that claim to fame likely being what brought you here, we want to discuss the two top picks: Bugaboo FOX 3 and Donkey 5. What sets them apart outside of the Donkey being a double stroller? Which should you pick based on the size and lifestyle of your family? Keep reading to make the cluster of information circulating in separate locations simple and concise before you buy.
Similarities
First up, let’s talk similarities. Each stroller is bassinet, toddler seat, car seat, and wheel board compatible. The Bugaboo Comfort Wheelboard allows you to add an additional older child to either stroller.
What makes them both unique from other bassinet-capable strollers is the convertible fabric. Rather than giving you two hard pieces that would need to be stored, the fabric itself converts between seat and bassinet – Saving you precious space in your closets and cars.
Speaking of storage, they both fold to be surprisingly compact, and believe it or not, they’re also the exact same dimension of 23 inches unfolded. Unless your Donkey 5 is extended to a double, it appearing larger is an optical illusion… But we’ll get more into that later.
Differences
Naturally, the first major difference between these two is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 being convertible into a double stroller by easily extending the handle and attaching an additional seat. But to elaborate further about them being the same size of 23 inches while the Donkey is in single mode, the reason it appears larger is the spacious and zippered side carrying basket. Bugaboo managed to maintain the compact dimensions of the FOX 3 while adding a convenient and secure place to hold your belongings right next to your baby.
The Donkey 5 allows you to mix and match which seats you attach simultaneously, as well. So whether your children are twins or several years apart, they’ll both fit comfortably and safely in this stroller.
One feature only the Bugaboo FOX 3 sports is the trolley mode. With two simple buttons on either side of the pushbar, you can safely and comfortably transition from push to trolley pull with baby in tow – Making the beach, gravel, grass, and stairs easier to conquer than ever. It’s the only stroller that offers this function seamlessly.
Making Your Decision
Ultimately both strollers are the epitome of convenience, luxury, and innovation. Which best suits your family, in our opinion? Well, that depends on how many children are in your future. If you’re one-and-done or have a child aged out of stroller years with a baby on the way, you might want to forego the side-carrying basket in favor of the trolley mode and/or wheel board with the FOX 3. If you have twins, two or three children of varying ages, or plan to consistently grow your family in the upcoming years – You’ll likely find it much more convenient having the double and triple stroller option with the Donkey 5.

Hey guys, Enelio from Bambi Baby here, and I'm answering the question: What's the difference between the Bugaboo FOX 3 and the Donkey 5? I want you to sit back and relax, and I'm going to answer all of the questions about Fox 3 and Donkey 5. When you first look at the two strollers, they both give you bassinet fabrics. But one of the key components to Bugaboo is they don't give you two hard pieces. They only give you fabric to convert. So you can convert your bassinet into a stroller seat so it's less stuff to store. So that's a major plus. The best part about any Bugaboo is its roll. It pushes better than any stroller in the world. That is a big statement, and Bugaboo stands alone when it comes to that. The Donkey 5 is a beautiful stroller because it gives you the side carrying basket. By the way, they're the same exact size at 23 inches as the single. It's an optical illusion that this looks bigger, but the Donkey 5 goes from a single to a double very easily by just expanding the handle. So if you have any questions or comments about these two, please leave them below.
